Program Overview
The International Academy of English (IAE) is an intensive English program that offers five levels of instruction and a TOEFL Preparation course.  Each level is taught throughout an 18-week term which is subdivided into two 9-week sessions (Sessions A and B).  Completion of all five levels takes 18 months.

If students fail, they can go through the term at the same level one more time provided they are making academic progress. The main objective of the Intensive English Program is to help students read, write, listen, and speak at increasing levels of proficiency so that they can fulfill their academic and professional goals.

Most of our students have the objective of being admitted to undergraduate or graduate courses in public colleges or universities. Students also want to learn English for professional reasons, such as getting a job or being promoted. 

Our primary instructional approach is skill-based as we place students according to their skill level we offer specific classes to help students enhance their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills.

Our methodological approach is communicative since students learn the target language through interaction with their peers, teachers, and the outside community.

As for our TOEFL program, the main objective of the course is to prepare students to be successful in the TOEFL test and to be admitted to the college or university program. The TOEFL Preparation course is also offered throughout an 18-week term and students can choose to repeat the TOEFL Preparation course if they have not attained their goal on the TOEFL exam by the end of the class.

The International Academy of English does not require English proficiency since its program is designed properly to teach English to foreign students at all levels of instruction.
